Optiplex 755 audio problems
The sound on my Optiplex 755 Keeps having a popping sound and cuts out from time to time when played at low volume. I'm running Windows 7 but it was also happening when I was running XP . I'm just using the on board sound. Is there a solution for this?

The can be many potential causes for the popping, cracking, skipping, etc. There are many posts here and around the web about these problems (and not just with Dell PC's).
Some potential causes are wireless (wi-fi) connections, wireless keyboards, having some other wireless device such as a cell phone close to the PC, a video card causing the problem, to the shared IRQ (interrupt) with the audio.
One thing to do, uninstall the sound in the Device Manager, then restart the PC and when Windows starts it will find the sound and reinstall it. Sometimes this will put it on a different shared IRQ and help the problem.
Updating the video drivers is another thing that could help it.
